About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at BP, a regular noticed something odd in the cashier’s drawer—a small, rusted key with no obvious purpose. No one could remember seeing it before. Curious, the regular asked if anyone knew what it was for. After some discussion, a delivery driver suggested it might open an old storage room nobody used anymore. They decided to check and found inside… nothing but dusty boxes and an ancient poster advertising ‘Super Unleaded’ from the 80s. Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another quirky relic of BP’s history.

2. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver found an old, dusty harmonica nestled between the pumps. He picked it up curiously and, as he blew into it, the entire station erupted in music—old-time country tunes, playing perfectly on their own. The delivery driver, amazed but not too surprised, looked around for someone to share his discovery with. Just then, an elderly gentleman walked up, whistling along to the tune. ‘That’s my harmonica,’ he said with a smile. ‘I must’ve left it here years ago.’ They both laughed, and from that day on, whenever anyone filled up at BP, they could hear the occasional old-time melody—a friendly reminder that sometimes life throws you a tune, if only you know where to look.

3. While pumping gas one evening, a delivery driver heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, please fill your tanks before midnight—after that, our pumps will only dispense coffee!’ The next morning, everyone was buzzing about it. A regular commented jokingly, 'Guess I’ll have to stock up on diesel tonight!' The delivery driver grinned and said, ‘Better hurry—tomorrow they might start selling espresso!’

4. While pumping gas one day, a delivery driver spotted an old, weathered sign reading ‘BP: Best Place for Unusual Encounters.’ Curious, he glanced around but saw nothing out of the ordinary. Suddenly, from behind the pump popped up a grinning cat wearing a tiny BP cap. The delivery driver jumped back, but then realized it was just his neighbour’s pet, who’d been hiding there since morning. Everyone had a good laugh, and from that day on, whenever anyone filled up at BP, they expected to see something—or someone—oddly charming.
